Initial one-time setup is approximately $6.09M driven by land acquisition, perimeter/containment construction, a specialized detention cell and multiple engineering systems; steady-state annual costs are roughly $4.17M driven mainly by salaried 24/7 staff, rapid-response readiness, contingency reserves, and monitoring/analyst programs.

Confidence Notes
The analyst notes are detailed and map to concrete construction, equipment and staffing needs, but many items are order-of-magnitude ranges (land prices, contingency sizing, and frequency/probability of incidents). This yields moderate confidence in ranges but uncertainty in long-tail incident costs.
